OH! Please forgive me.

I speak to you
And your face fades.

With language
That is implicitly explicit.

I always fail.

I've never been
That which I want to be.

I've always been
A stranger to myself.

No man has ever hung
At the temporary age of twenty four.

Caught between these mediums.

Understanding his ignorance
Towards his own soul.

Delving into the shallow force
Of his own mind more than ever.

Convinced of his own depth.

More and more convinced
That he is what it takes.

About Me

I spend most of my time working as a mental health professional. I have been preoccupied with philosophy, politics, healing, and many other questions for the last 15 years or so. I am currently working on putting together my study of Plato and Aristotle with contemporary work in philosophy, psychology, psychotherapy, and trauma research. I use this place primarily as a workshop for ideas. I welcome conversation with anyone working on similar problems. The major contours of my basic project have been outlined here
